[Gastric lymphoma--a case report].
A 24-year-old male patient with a history of gastric ulcer was referred to our hospital in September 1995. His chief complaints were epigastralgia and weight loss of 3 kg during a short period. The upper G.I endoscopy performed on 9/22/1995 revealed multiple ulcers with a histological diagnosis of atypical lymphoid cell proliferation. Follow-up endoscopy, one month later, showed an appearance of superficial gastric lymphoma, and histology of the biopsy specimen revealed MALT lymphoma associated with H. pylori. Despite an eradication therapy for H. pylori, which consisted of lansoprazole, teprenone and amoxicillin, the progression of the ulcerative lesions was observed on the endoscopy two weeks after initiation of the treatment. However, the subsequent endoscopy, one month later, disclosed a regression both macroscopically and histologically. The lymphoma disappeared completely on the follow-up endoscopy in April 1996 with no lymphoma cells in histology. No recurrences of the lymphoma have been observed up to now.
